Just been watching Dr Phil and he is doing a show on same sex marriages: is it right or os it wrong? I personally don't think it is right. God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. What are your personal views on same sex marriages?
 
That's a dumb argument because you assume that firstly god exists and secondly that he's the christian god.

Besides, what other people do with their lives is not for you to impose your view on.
 
I dont think I would like to see 2 guys or 2 girls get married. For me it's un natural but if they want to, they can but I just dont think its right
 
Dr Philemon is the last person to talk about marriage as his one never went too well from what i heard years ago but anyway i think males laying with males and i assume women laying with women was the norm back in the day before organised religion came about. the bible even mentions daughters sleeping with their fathers. imagine!!!!
 
Dam pity i missed the show! Safferbeauty you just opened the largest can of worms ever and this one aint going to go away... You are entitled to your opinion and are allowed to air it. Just like i am allowed to air mine . Except mine is not infringing on constitutional and human rights. I think its marvelous that i can get married in this Country, it is a right afforded to me by the constitution of south africa by me being a HUMAN BEING - yes thats right just like you. And i should have the right to marry the person i love without having to worry about you taking that away from me. I am proud to live In a country that supports gay marriage. You know only 4 states in america support gay marriage? Even then it is not recognised on a federal level. If you are so aposed to me marrying the person i love why dont you go live in the US? Or maybe India where it is still illegal or even in iran or iraq where they stone people like me to death. That should stop us from getting married wouldnt it?
 
1. Dr Phil is a hack who lives his lavish life thanks to people like you.
2. So goddidit? He also afforded you the luxury to judge others? Thought not...
3. Wrong or right? By whose standards?

The rings on the fingers of my wife and I have nothing to do with religious motives - it is a sign of commitment to each other, as well as a publicly visible statement.

Whether hetero-, homo-, bi- or trisexual people have the basic right to associate with whomsoever they damn-well want. They are also entitled to equal benefits regarding social and legal conventions. Lastly, anyone is free to attempt to build a life together with anyone else - it's difficult enough as it is, without everyone not conforming to your ideal having to deal with your constant condescending judgement.
 
The Bible also says you should not eat pork...

Some people don't think it's right to eat bacon, go figure..

I did watch the show today, well, half of it at least.

First of all I still find it hard to believe that there are intelligent and educated people in the world who still believe in the story of Adam and Eve, I really se no logic. But that's another topic altogether.

Second of all, I think Dr Phil (while he may sometimes have some really good advice for people with problems) is a judgemental freak and I wouldn't listen to what he has to say most of the time.

Thirdly, what gives anyone the audacity to judge and tell people how to live their lives? If someone wants to be and marry someone of the same sex then so be it, we live in a free country and they (gay and lesbian people) can do whatever they want, they can get married and do whatever. But having said that, I am still a little bit concerned with the issue of gay and lesbian people adopting a child. The reason I am a little bit concerned is we live in a judgemental society, so if a child is adopted by a gay couple, that child will one day go to school, maybe the school will require the child to bring his/her "parents", the child does so, everyone at the child's school finds out that the child has gay parents (which is abnormal is today's society). Then the child will be mocked and made fun of by his/her peers and that may have psychological implications for the child. That's why I am a bit concerned with gay couples adopting children. Otherwise, I have no problem with gay and lesbian people.
 
You guys can be against me thats fine. Its what I believe and nothing will change that. No I will never leave south africa as I love it here far too much!!!!
 
I just dont simply believe in gay people marrying that just my view point love it or hgate it it is all up to you
 
Nobody's against you or trying to change you, just as long as people like you don't start acting on your opinion and enforcing it on anyone. Gay people's rights are protected by our constitution whether you like it or not.

BTW I'd PIMPL if your kid turned out to be gay, that would be sweet justice :)
 
Although I don't have an issue with it, I don't associate myself with gay marriages to be honest, its outside my frame of reference.

the problem is, that you give some of these gay people a pinky and then they grab the whole hand....
They have to accept that not everyone likes the idea of gay marriages , the argument swings both ways.

I'm against marriage, period :) There are no major benefits in my view, and when things get nasty, they get really nasty. However that's a debate for another day.

But I'm not vocal about it as the anti-gay people are. I'm not going to stand in the way of people doing with their lives as they please. And the concept of wanting more applies to all people in general. However I don't see a problem in wanting more if you're not being treated equally to everyone else.

Also remember that not accepting a concept is one thing, but being overly vocal about it and trying to actively enforce your opinion is another thing entirely. I'm sure that most gay people are well aware that not everyone approves of the idea, but what they'd have a problem with is people protesting against it while using fruitless arguments like 'god made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve'.
